I want to do some thing else to my car performance wise but trying to stay under like $800 or so. i got a 93 xchp 5 spd Centerforce dual friction clutch, cobra upper/lower, 70mm throttle body, headers, x-pipe no cats, msd everything, e303 cam, c&l air intake....i got 24pound injectors but not yet installed, I dont see no point on putting them on since I dont have serious performance parts in my car. Its still stock besides what i mentioned. Any advice would be appreciated thanks everyone.

I wont be going to the track or anything like that. I use it as a daily driver and sometimes it gets tempting to go at it with some one next to you on the road, i just want to have a strong running car if any thing like that happens

used Edelbrock Performer heads $500-600
New set of gears W/ install part (track lok rebuild, etc..) $340 from Summit

Then $250 for T-top50 to install them.. its about a total of $1100 but it would make a night and day difference... buy the parts now and save for install later

Completes the frame from front to back. Get better traction, handling, helps keep the car from slowly turning into a big accordion and keeps the floorpan from sinking and the seats falling through the floor. Drives like a whole new car with them in, more stable and predictable
